 .-Complaints have been numerous of late years in regard to the abuse of guide posts in this town. This week one of our principal tax payers spoke of. the matter as needing immediate atention. Appropos to this subject is the following from the Cour- ant: The Hartford Times renews the agi- tation for guide boards in this state. The law is dead but so is the violation of it. No one can drive or walk. any distance across country without being perplexed at the lack of eress-road information. Often est there is no guide board at all, though, now and then, just often enough to under mine all faith, there is an old one that has fallen and been put up again wrong. It is shameful neglect of duty on the part of town officers, and netof the worst facts to be cited by those people who delight in arguing that the back country is demoral- ized. We have brought this subject up summer after summer, and it is well that it comes up again. Keep it before the pub lie until the people are aroused to their duty. s ..- r-r .. ..:.. -.
